🚀 Getting Started with Jellyfin
Set up Jellyfin for streaming from Blackbeard’s Vault. Start with your account, then choose your device.
Before you start
- Be an active member of the Discord and have the Jellyfin username and password provided there. Ask Cruv for a Jellyfin account if you do not have one.
- Use your supplied username, not your email. An Emby account or downloader account is not automatically your Jellyfin streaming account.
Your streaming server
https://jellyfin.blackbeardsvault.com
Copy the complete HTTPS address into your app. Do not add a default Jellyfin port such as 8096 or 8920. The separate downloader portal uses a different account and purpose.

Optional: Quick Connect
Use this only when Quick Connect is offered and you are already signed in on another device. Both devices must use the same Blackbeard’s Vault Jellyfin server.
- On the new device, choose Quick Connect or Use Quick Connect. Some clients show it after Manual Login. Keep the displayed six-character code visible.
- On the already signed-in device, open Jellyfin in your browser, then Settings → Quick Connect.
- Enter the code from your new device and confirm. Return to the new device to finish signing in.
Expected result: the new device opens your account. If Quick Connect is unavailable or the code expires, use manual sign-in or request a fresh code. You do not need an external activation website.
